Chill Out Yall: Texas Ranked 12th Most Stressed Out State

How stressed out are you right now? There're a lot of reasons to be stressed, especially with the holidays coming up, and Texans aren't immune to it.

The good folks over at Zippa decided to see how stressed everyone is in America and ranked all 50 states on their stress levels based off 6 factors: long commute times, unemployment, population density, hours worked, home price to income ratio, and percentages of a state's population that's uninsured.

The higher any of these was, the more stressful the people of the state are. Our data is from the U.S. Census’ American Community Survey for 2012-2016. We ranked each state from 1 to 50 (with one being the most stressed side of the scale) in the six individual criteria. These ranks were then averaged into one stressed out score. The lower the score the more stressed out state in America. - Zippa
